We don’t learn. Trump is a lolcow. He generates outrage over absurdity to gain media leverage. This recent media cycle is not an accident and I am disappointed that we didn’t learn our lesson the first decade of this.

    Every new article in this stupid slap fight makes me so mad. Mexico made a retort? Canada offered to buy some states? Who fucking cares dude !

    (Good insight about mass deportations. That’s a flaw in my language but my rhetorical goals are still there, ty.)

      I care. If Trump is going to be joking around with territorial disputes with us then it’s only fair that we’re represented. He deserves all the mockery he gets.

        No judgement for caring! My judgement is on the proportion of caring across the whole media spectrum. :)

        I would vastly prefer a week of focus on other injustices hurtling toward us in the media rather than an obvious distractionary narrative that is exceedingly unlikely to be meaningful, is all I’m saying
